Activity
Abashiri Nature Cruise ~Whales, Dolphins, Seabirds~
Watch whales and dolphins in the sea of Okhotsk!
At Abashiri Nature Cruise, we value maintaining just the right distance from nature above all else. We always strive to maintain as natural a state as possible so as not to disturb the ocean or the creatures that live there. Even if we are lucky enough to encounter a marine animal, we observe and collect data quietly and carefully, paying close attention to maneuvering the boat so as not to affect their behavior. Sometimes the marine animals approach us, but even in those situations, we never actively try to close the distance. Nature is the main character, and we are merely there to watch over it. This is the attitude that Abashiri Nature Cruise.
